Trakai 2-0 down and heading out of Europe tonight. Maksimov is on his way lads.

Basically this. Hopefully we can get in another striker who is more likely to be a starter. Kane is perfectly good as back up. If he went we'd have to replace him and there's no guarantees you'd be just as likely to get the next Adam Morgan as someone better than Kane.

I could see the merits in that, but with Watson's history what happens if he's crocked again the week after everyone else is loaned out? Unless we can recall we're left short and with that wage on our hands.

Mine too. Top lad.

This is all you need to know-he has John "Bomber" Brown above Tommy Wright for his time at Dundee, during which they were relegated. I pulled he guy up on this on Twitter and he claimed Saints "have taken the wrong approach" during Tommy Wright's tenure. When I asked what more Wright could do beyond winning the cup, repeatedly finishing fourth, playing more youth system products than we have for decades and selling one for the thick end of £1m he stopped responding. So far as I can tell the logic was that Wright has taken Saints backwards because Lomas finished third the season before Wright took over...

If you're struggling to locate him, he drinks in the Royal.

Dat third his though. Sensational football from back to front.

What we need to see is the minute or so before hat first goal. That was about the most absurd piece of football I've ever seen. Did Mannone carry it across the line? The linesman certainly ran up the park as if he was signalling a goal!

Would be surprised if most of the starting XI for Thursday coming don't play at least 45. Everyone looked desperately short of game time the other night.

Think that was worst ever last night. No idea how he managed to hit the only spot between the two posts that wouldn't have resulted in a goal. Fud.

There's a simple reason for that though. Those games would have been covered by photographers from agencies who those organisations have pre existing deals with. The likelihood is that they don't have any other pics of the players concerned but when the name is popped in the library a stock PA/SNS pic will pop up that is free at the point of use.

That remains just about the worst decision I've ever seen. Anderson was out for weeks after that and left the park with a lump the size of an egg on his cheek - and was booked as he went off. Absolutely mental.

There's no border check, at leat until the current government finish with Brexit. If you get to NI you can get from there to ROI.

I made the conscious decision to be designated driver on cup final day, which turned out to be a great call.

f**k sake, you're quite right! My excuse is I don't remember the Rosenborg game because, having travelled all the way from Perth to Trondheim, I got blind drunk, passed out and missed the game...

Getting to QR3 will be an achievement for all three Scottish EL teams. Rangers could play the likes of Galatasaray in QR2 as they're unseeded while even the unseeded sides will be relatively handy. The seeds in QR3 will include the likes of Athletic Bilbao and Everton. The chances of anyone getting to the playoff round are effectively zero barring seeded teams crashing out early combined with kind draws and a big slice of luck. We should have made the playoff the year we went out to Minsk-but badly missed out on the luck element, losing a home game we absolutely dominated having beaten them in Belarus before losing a penalty shoot out. I'm pretty sure we only ended up with such a pish opponent that season because they'd maybe unexpectedly beaten someone decent in QR2? We certainly weren't seeded for it.

I heard we've signed O'Halloran, May, Scougall, Dunne and Maguire but we won't be releasing any of this officially until Friday so the PA can get the exclusive, then we'll be drip feeding them with each subsequent edition of the PA. You heard it here first.

Interesting graphic of top four finishes since 1971 popped up on Twitter earlier.

Do we see him starting on Saturday? If he plays you kind of feel like he owes us a big performance.

In our hands now. My initial thoughts are that four points should be enough, particularly if any of those points are taken from Hearts. They have a huge opportunity to put pressure on us the way the fixtures have fallen though-wouldn't be surprised if we were level on points after the next two games with us having two hard away fixtures and Hearts looking to take victories in the last games in front of the old Main Stand at Tynecastle.

Surely we won't get a kit launch before July as well?!

The ones who go to the away games, primarily, have been on thin ice for some time due to more than one incident. Some had already been banned. I can only assume they were the ones involved in the pre-match incident on Saturday that led to "several arrests". Idiotic.

Yes. You're welcome in the Ormond stand as away fans as an adult and two kids for £16. Alternatively you can go in the away end for the adult entry price (think £23?) which would include the two children.

No. All on the same frequency. It's like open all mics but just two games. They commentate/summarise on one game until something happens in the other where they just butt in and cross to that game.
